    By Emmanuel Udom
    Despite strong oppositions by the All Progressives Congress senators over the nomination of Musiliu Obanikoro, as minister of the federal republic of Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday in Abuja swore in the former Lagos PDP guber aspirant and others.

    Obanikoro, who was floored by Jimi Agbaje, while scheming and plotting to unseat Babatunde Fashola via the ballot box as governor of Lagos state, during the primaries is now the minister of state for foreign affairs II.

    Nicholas Ada from Benue state is the minister of state for foreign affairs I, even as Jonathan has reshuffled the health ministry. Alhassan Khaliru‎ the minister of health, while Fidelis Nwankwo, is now the new minister of state for health‎.

    Other ministers sworn are:  Patricia Akwashiki from  ‎Nasarawa, Augustine Akobundu from Abia State,Defence, Hauwa’u Bappa, minister of state  for Niger Delta Affairs; Kenneth Kobani from Rivers, minister of state for  industry, Trade and Investment and Joel Ikenya  from Taraba minister of labour.
